Thomas,

What is your question on the challenge? Hint, it should look something like this:

def suggest(product_idea):

    # some code goes here that will throw an error

    return product_idea + "inator"

def suggest(product_idea): if product_idea < 3 : raise ValueError("it should be above 3") return product_idea + "inator" product_idea = input("Do you understand? ") product_idea = len(product_idea)

Thomas, nice work on that.

Kenneth places plenty of emphasis on how to raise errors. It really makes troubleshooting code much easier.
